Netflix has long since blown past the snooty preconceptions of the Hollywood elite that dubbed them as a mere streaming service, with the company currently churning out some of the most acclaimed shows on television and countless feature-length awards season contenders on an annual basis. The old guard tried to resist the inevitable paradigm shift for as long as possible, but based on both the quantity and quality of the in-house originals, Netflix can now comfortably be viewed as genuine rivals to the traditional major studios.
Of course, that takes a whole lot of investment, with close to $20 billion being funnelled into content last year, and that number only set to rise even higher. The Coronavirus pandemic may have decimated the theatrical industry, but Netflix has seen their subscriber count and viewership numbers continue to grow. Thankfully, then, a a massive number of original movies are coming to the platform this year, and you can check out the full and exhaustive list below.

It doesn’t matter what kind of genre you want to see, Netflix will have you covered. From sci-fi actioner Outside the Wire to intimate black and white drama Malcolm & Marie, there’s something for everyone. At least two upcoming titles are also destined to trouble the all-time Top 10 most-watched list – Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead and Dwayne Johnson’s Red Notice – while Guillermo del Toro’s stop motion Pinocchio marks his first film since winning Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for The Shape of Water.
And that’s just the tip of an iceberg more than capable of sinking the Titanic that also includes Melissa McCarthy’s superhero comedy Thunder Force, Henry Selick teaming up with Key & Peele for Wendell and Wild, and Lin-Manuel Miranda making his feature directorial debut with musical Tick, Tick Boom…! to name just a very small number of the great movies Netflix has on the way.
